My Project

I've always been a firm believer that unless a student feels safe and cared for, they cannot even begin to tap into their full potential. The amount of basic items I hand out on a regular basis would be unreal to some. Oftentimes I run out and have to send my students out of the class room, therefore missing out on important instruction.

By providing my students with some basic care items, they can think less about their needs and more about learning.

From deodorant and lotion, to snacks and gum, to pencils and hair ties, these simple things will help alleviate the stresses they are facing and help them focus on what's most important: getting a quality education.
